Abstract

The Clergy Discipline Measure 2003 came into force on 1 January 2006. It provides a new structure for dealing with formal complaints of misconduct against members of the clergy, except in relation to matters involving doctrine, ritual or ceremonial, which continue to be governed by the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1963. This paper concentrates on the new disciplinary procedures in respect of priests and deacons, rather than those for bishops and archbishops.
